Went out to the Funky Buddha today, and I haven't been in that place in forever. It was jam packed when we got in (the cut off the line for a while after they let us in). I saw some people I haven't seen in a LONG time. I love the Funky Buddha Lounge, you've got an eclectic mix of people there, and the music is always danceable.

So we ran into our friend Brian there, and it ended up that he had gotten the VIP area with a couple of his friends, one of them being my friend Jerry, who for some reason, makes me happy every time I see him. So we got to go beyond the velvet rope to the VIP couches. We got our own bottle of vodka, a carafe of red bull, a well endowed waitress that much to Dave's delight was the spitting image of Christina Aguilera, a bouncer to keep the riff raff away and a great view of the rest of the club.

The guys had done a shot together, and had an extra one, so they gave it to one of the guys in the VIP group next to us (there were only two VIP groups). He was part of what I called in my head, the wife beater club, because, well, they all were wearing wife beaters. Wife beaters are those white tank top like things that guys wear under their shirts. And I'm sure that these guys were wearing normal shirts when they arrived, but it was hotter in there than a mofo, so they became the wifebeater club. Little did the guys know that the guy they gave the shot to was the head of the wifebeaters (he wore a black one) and in appreciation of them sharing a shot with a stranger, sent over a choice bottle of champagne. Good times!

So we had some good dancing. And some good conversation. Like checking to see how many numbers of strippers that my friend had in his phone (22, including the cell phone of one of the strippers moms). Or how our one friend confessed to our other friend that him and his girlfriend had sex on our other friend's bed at school, when he was away on summer break. Or detailed descriptions of threesomes had during 'the months I was a whore' as a friend called it. Or how Brian has become the shepherd of lost sheep - he's been hanging out with the guys who have just gotten out of long relationships and who need to do bad things to get their ex's out of their system. And no better man to tend to that flock than Brian! Gotta love the guy.

So it was a good time. Nice to see old friendly faces and to see that they're doing something with their lives. Even if it IS whoring around.

Man. All that free alcohol, and I'm the designated driver. SUCKS!
